Meibomian gland blockage -- time frame

[LynneAV]

I'm wondering what would be a typical time frame for a blocked Meibomian Gland to "clear up and go away" after home treatment is begun? I've had one bothering me for about a week.

Uveitis, scleritis, cataract ... now in the same eye, one meibomian gland (I'm 99.9 percent sure that's what it is) is acting up. I am treating it at home with warm compresses, lid scrub, pushing/massaging to express oil. It is in the nose side corner of my upper eyelid, and I only see one of them and nothing in the other eye. It  has an indentation on the top of the bump. It is mildly annoying, mostly because my eye gets bleary vision especially towards the end of the day, but of course nothing compared to uveitis or the cataract that was removed Sept.1.

It a chronic problem so ongoing treatment is necessary. Also when therapy is begun we usually anticipate 6-8 weeks for improvement to occur
